I never used these but they look like they would work.

2 Piece Rubber Pads for Jack Stand

I have those and they work well
I also have the jack stands 90 deg turned from each other on the front and rear points
the front ones go sideways and the rear ones front to back

Just took the car down after 3 weeks on the stands using these rubber tops for the 1st time. Big improvement over just the cast iron. Tough material and much less risk of damaging the jacking points. That bar gizmo looks like it could be the most trick set up though. I might order one of those.

I've got those same pads and they work well. For the back I orient the head of the jack stand front to back, and for the fronts I jack from the jack point and place the stands in the reinforced area that is described here:

Pelican Technical Article: Jacking Up and Lifting the Boxster on Jack Stands - 986 / 987

I used to jack from that point but found that my jack interfered with the placement of the jack stand at the jack point so I switched to doing it this way.
